Help in Suffering (HIS) Camel Rescue Centre (CRC), Jaipur, India February Update
What a difference your support has made for the camels and many other animals supported by Help in Suffering, an animal welfare group in Jaipur, India.
You have helped provide treatment for wounds, broken bones and respiratory problems for horses and camels in February.
Here is an on the ground report from Help in Suffering about these treatments.
Case 1 :Camel eye wound treated
At our site Langariawas, Ramesh Chand, a camel was injured with a wound under the left eye from a barbed wire. Earlier, the owner did not pay attention to it but when the condition became worse, he called us.
The wound was filled with pus and dead tissue. Antiseptic dressing was applied and injectable antibiotics and painkillers were given. We asked the owner to keep the wound clean and away from flies.

Case 2: Cast applied to calf’s broken leg
One day we received a call from a camel herd owner Omjeet, from the village Sambharia. He said that a leg of a new born camel calf was broken because one of the herd camels accidentally put its leg on the calf. The owner tried to tie the leg with wooden sticks but it did not work.
Upon arrival, Dr. Jitendar examined the calf and found that the left femur was broken. The fracture was not open so there was still a good chance to immobilize the fractured bones. With his team members, Dr Jitendar removed the wooden sticks and applied the POP cast. Dr Jitendar advised Omjeet to take great care of calf’s leg.

A case from daily clinics and monthly camp
At CRC we provide treatment to working animals but we also help other animals. We receive many cases in our daily clinics and monthly camp. The horse in the picture came with the complaint of respiratory distress while walking in the cart. Its owner Ramlal was extremely worried. We provided the necessary treatment.

Camel treatments at CRC
430 camels received treatment for worms and skin conditions such as mange.
Together with this, 148 reflectors were fitted to camel carts to make carts visible at night on the roads & 134 camels had their wooden nose pegs replaced with plastic pegs. Wooden pegs can easily splinter and cause terrible wounds and pain for the camels.
170 camels received skin treatment while 143 received worm treatment.
Monthly animal treatment camp
At the monthly animal treatment camp, 149 goats were treated with clinical care.
